I agree with making your own. Don't have to be a stitch artist to do them.  I bought new seats from VS and at the same time an extra yard of material for $39.00.  You can send them a snip of material from the underside of something and they can try to give you a good match.  Then you'll have plenty of material to try. I didn't care for their brake boot so figured out my own pattern.

Good luck.

And now you have a bitchen leather vest...

I just kinda eyed mine in. 

 

For the first year or so it was just a cut-off jacket sleeve, the cuff forward, snapped. I bunched up the excess between the seats (you can get away with that in a TD replica).

 

I modded my e-brake handle to eliminate the stock adjusters for a narrower, more TD-ish look. Looped the cable over the top and clamped it. Then I folded the jacket sleeve inside out and stapled it to conform it more closely to the stick. 

 

I did not take any pics of this process but you can get the idea. 

 

Couple test fits and then I put some grommets in & fastened it to the studs that used to hold the heater controls (those were elsewhere on my car). Little velcro, et voila.
